Many traders focus only on entry and exit.
But in Futures, there’s another factor quietly affecting your P&L — Funding Rate.
🔹 What is Funding Rate?
Funding rate is a fee exchanged between traders, not paid to the exchange.
Depending on market sentiment:
Longs pay Shorts
or Shorts pay Longs
📌 This keeps futures price close to spot price.
🔹 When do you pay funding?
Funding is charged at fixed intervals (usually every 8 hours).
If you hold a trade during funding time:
You either pay funding
Or receive funding
🔹 Why funding rate matters
High positive funding = market overcrowded on longs
High negative funding = market overcrowded on shorts
📌 Extreme funding often comes before reversals.
🔹 Common beginner mistake
❌ Holding high-leverage trades for long time
❌ Ignoring funding cost
❌ Thinking small fees don’t matter
Over time, funding can slowly eat your capital.
🧠 My honest advice
Always check funding before entering a trade
Avoid holding high-leverage positions for long
Funding + wrong direction = double loss
Smart traders respect hidden costs.

Most beginners ask:
“Is this trade right or wrong?”
Professionals ask:
“How much should I risk on this trade?”
That’s position sizing.
🔹 What is Position Sizing?
Position sizing means deciding trade quantity based on your risk, not on emotions or confidence.
Same setup.
Same strategy.
Different size = different result.
🔹 Why it matters so much
Bad position size can:
Blow your account in one trade
Increase emotional stress
Kill discipline
Good position size:
Keeps losses small
Keeps emotions calm
Keeps you in the game
🔹 Simple example
Capital: $1,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $10
Stop-loss distance: $1
➡️ Position size = 10 units
📌 If SL hits, you lose only $10 — exactly as planned.
🔹 Common beginner mistake
❌ Going all-in on “high confidence” trades
❌ Increasing size after a loss
❌ Letting leverage decide size
📌 Confidence doesn’t reduce risk. Numbers do.
🧠 My honest advice
If your position size is wrong,
even the best setup will fail.
Small losses are a sign of professionalism.

You don’t need a perfect strategy to make money in Futures.
But without risk management, even the best strategy will fail.
This is what professionals focus on.
🔹 What is Risk Management?
Risk management means:
Controlling how much you lose when you’re wrong.
Because every trader is wrong sometimes.
🔹 The golden rule
Protect capital first. Profit comes later.
If your capital survives, you always get another trade.
If it’s gone, the game is over.
🔹 Simple risk rules beginners must follow
✔ Risk only 1–2% per trade
✔ Always use a stop-loss
✔ Low leverage > high leverage
✔ One bad trade should NOT destroy your account
✔ Trading is a marathon, not a lottery
🔹 Example (simple)
Capital: $1,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $10
Even if you lose 10 trades in a row,
you’re still in the game.
📌 This is how professionals survive.
🧠 My honest advice
If you’re focusing only on profits,
you’ll eventually blow your account.
If you focus on risk, profits follow naturally.

Most people don’t lose money in Futures because of bad analysis.
They lose money because they don’t understand margin and liquidation.
#Let me explain it simply.
🔹 What is Margin?
Margin is the money you put as security to open a futures trade.
Think of it as:
“The money you can afford to lose in that trade.”
Example 👇
You have $100
You open a futures trade
That $100 is your margin
If the trade goes against you, losses are deducted from this margin.
🔹 What is Liquidation?
Liquidation happens when your margin is no longer enough to keep the trade open.
At that point:
The exchange automatically closes your trade
Your margin is almost fully lost
You get no second chance
📌 This is how accounts get wiped.
🔥 Why liquidation happens fast
High leverage
No stop-loss
Over-sized position
Emotional trading
Even a small price move can trigger liquidation if leverage is high.
🧠 My honest advice
Always know your liquidation price
Use low leverage
Risk only a small part of your capital per trade
Survival matters more than profit
👉 What’s coming next?
Now that you understand how trades get wiped, the most important skill is risk management.

Leverage is the most dangerous and misunderstood thing in Futures trading.
Many beginners think:
“More leverage = more profit” But in reality:
More leverage = faster loss, Let me explain it simply.
🔹 What is Leverage?
Leverage means trading with borrowed money.
Example 👇
You have $100
You use 10x leverage
Now you’re trading with $1,000
🔹 Sounds good? Here’s the risk
With higher leverage:
Small price move = big profit or big loss
Even 1–2% wrong move can liquidate your trade
📌 That’s why beginners lose fast.
🧠 My honest advice
High leverage is not needed to make money
Professional traders focus on risk, not leverage
Survival > Profit
If you can’t protect capital, profit doesn’t matter.

لسنوات عديدة، كانت الذهب هو الأصل الأكثر موثوقية كملاذ آمن في العالم.
كلما ارتفع التضخم، وضعفت العملات، أو زادت التوترات الجيوسياسية، يميل المستثمرون تقليديًا إلى تحويل أموالهم إلى الذهب.
في السنوات الأخيرة، بدأ البيتكوين يدخل هذه المحادثة.
لكن لماذا؟
1) الندرة: إمداد محدود مثل الذهب
الذهب ذو قيمة لأنه نادر. البيتكوين يتبع نفس المبدأ - ولكن بشكل رقمي. إمداد الذهب يزيد ببطء من خلال التعدين، بينما إمداد البيتكوين ثابت عند 21 مليون عملة، إلى الأبد. لا يمكن لأي حكومة أو سلطة مركزية زيادة إمداد البيتكوين. هذه الندرة تجعل البيتكوين جذابًا خلال أوقات انخفاض قيمة العملة والتضخم.
